I received product from Bobux Shoes to facilitate this post.  As always, all opinions are my own. Everyone should be settling back into their school routines now as most schools started back earlier this month.  But with all the hustle and bustle, perhaps you still need to get a few pairs of shoes for the kids yet?  I like to stagger our purchases throughout the year as certain times of year can get costly.  When back to school hits, there's not only school supplies, there's backpacks, clothes, Read more [...]

Thank you to the Denver Zoo for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Over the summer, my family traveled from Oregon to Colorado for my father-in-laws family reunion. In between all of the reunion events, we had some free time. It had been years since my husband and I had been to Colorado and the first time our daughters had ever been there. We wanted to see and do as much as possible while we had the opportunity. Before we left Oregon, we sat Read more [...]

I received product to facilitate this post.  As always, all opinions are my own. If you've been following the blog for awhile, you may have caught my previous DoorFoto post.  So when I heard they were running a campaign for sports licensing, I wanted to share them with you again. Decorating Made Simple With DoorFoto.com First off, I want to note.  I'm both a fan AND customer of DoorFoto.com.  I've put my money where my mouth is and have purchased a few door covers as well as reviewed with Read more [...]

Today I wanted to share my husband's favorite recipe with you all. It is a recipe that came from my mother-in-law and I learned to make them after we got married. These Mini Ham & Cheese Puffs are bite size and are perfect to use as appetizers, to serve at a brunch or even to have as a meal (this is how my husband prefers them). They are quick, easy, delicious and are a crowd pleaser! Ingredients you will need: 1/4 cup finely chopped onion 3/4 cup shredded cheese 1/2 cup ham finely Read more [...]

Thank you to Grease Monkey Wipes for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion. My husband and I are working on being mindful about getting fit and losing some extra pounds. We both purchased bikes this summer and have had a great time riding on the trail near our home this summer. Recently we were introduced to Grease Monkey Cleaning Wipes, to help us clean up ourselves and our bikes after our rides. Cyclists Read more [...]

I LOVE to read.  Back in elementary, middle, and high school, you could find me with a book in my hands 99% of the time.  Between classes and waiting for the bell, my nose would be in a book.  I didn't always gravitate towards conservative books though.  Back in high school, I was always up for a good horror or mystery novel.  Then for awhile after high school, I loved reading Harlequin romance books.  But for the last decade of my life, I've stuck with Christian and Conservative books.  The Read more [...]

I was sent a Nadine West shipment. There are affiliate links in this post. All opinions are my own. For quite a while now I've been getting Nadine West shipments. Just last weekend I was wearing a top that I got in a previous Nadine West shipment and my niece asked me where I got it. I wound up telling her all about how Nadine West works. That sort of thing happens pretty often now because a lot of my wardrobe has come from Nadine West at this point! When you sign up for Nadine West you fill Read more [...]

I partnered with Katy Mattress on this sponsored post. I have not tried or tested the mattress. All opinions are my own. For much of my adult life, I held onto the mattress that my mom had purchased for me when I was a teenager. When you're in college or otherwise still young, it's easy to just not think much about your mattress. It's also easy to prioritize other things financially. I finally got a new mattress around age 24 or 25, and as soon as I did, I realized I should have done so earlier. Read more [...]
